Kosher Mezuzah Parchment Scroll (Klaf) written by an Israeli scribe (called a Sofer Stam in Hebrew). Choose from Size 7, which is 2 3/4 x 2 1/2 inches or 7cm or size 10 which is 4 inches or 10cm. Size 7 mezuzah scroll will fit most mezuzah cases.
This is the scroll that is put inside the mezuzah cases. It is the scroll, not the case, that is holy. It contains the Jewish prayer, the Shema, beginning with the phrase: “Listen, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.” Mezuzot are placed on entry doors to fulfill the Biblical commandment to proclaim the Shema “on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
These are Ashkenazi style – written on animal skin without bleaching so the natural beauty of the skin shows through.
The terms: basic or upscale refer to graded levels of excellence. Basic parchments meet minimal requirements. Upscale is a more advanced level of craftsmanship approved by all rabbis. All kosher scrolls are written by an experienced Israeli Sofer (scribe). These scrolls are beautiful, legibly handwritten and meet stringent standards of Kashrut. Each scroll is checked both by a second Sofer and upscale scrolls also by computer at a special institute in Jerusalem.
